I was very nervous about leaving my baby for the first time with a stranger, but Kerry has gone above and beyond to make the transition as easy as possible for both my son and for me, my son now loves his time with her, he often waits in the morning by the front door with his lunch box in his hand waiting to go.

Kerry does lots of fun activities with the children, painting and sensory play as well as taking them out for walks or even swimming. It is a great comfort to know that I can go to work safe in the knowledge my son is being incredibly well cared for. He adores her puppy, I am not a dog person and was dubious at first but after meeting the dog in person I found she is lovely (soft inside and out) and has helped my son to settle in much faster than I could possibly have hoped for. I have no issues or worries with her dog at all, and by all accounts my son loves chasing her around and sharing his yoghurt with her!

Kerrys home is very clean and cosy and there is lots for the children to do there, it truly is a home from home setting and you couldn't ask for much more from a childminder. I can not recommend her enough and look forward to my son spending the rest of the year in her care while mummy goes out to work, he is already building a bond with her and the other children which is lovely to see and hopefully will be one which continues growing and helping him as he learns new things and develops further in the coming months.
